More exciting changes are taking place on the site of our new patient-care building in St. Paul, scheduled to open later this year. The first deliveries of steel — which will ultimately serve as our building’s “skeletal system” — arrived on-site last week. (Pardon the metaphor — we’re a hospital after all!)

But you can already see the very beginnings of walls, and even floors, starting to take shape.

Take a look at today’s photo from Margaret Perryman, our CEO, to see what a difference 3 weeks can make. And not just to our building. The treeline above looks a whole lot greener:
